How to catch a Pike...? What about a lure?

We picked up this lure at Décathlon today. It is a nice little rattle lure that has bright colouration and hopefully will attract a sizeable predator of the deep. 5cm long and weighing 9g (about the size of the photo below), the darting movement at about 1.2m down and the sound of the thing apparently drives the pike wild. Instinct takes over and he ignores that this is made of balsa and resin.

 


Matt Hayes of Totally Fishing (Discovery Channel) has had excellent results with this type of lure and if the TV images are to be believed, it does work as described on the tin.

We'll be testing it on Sunday morning if we get a chance on the big lake so fingers crossed.
